What makes a great hero?

We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular.
We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes.
It just depends on the day…Brad Meltzer

Epic heroes are created from a combination of things. What kind of the combination you use when you have to create the character for your story?

The first step in making a character great is to imagine it in your own mind. When you do this, your subconscious will begin the process of constructing a character that’s larger than life. Now, when the hero is THERE, what techniques can be used to make him/or her great?

A. Molchanov’s pick:

mystery

purpose

limitation/flaw/defect

powers/abilities

Every hero should have a character flaw, something that may be ruining their life.
